LEED™ for Homes is a rating system that promotes the design and construction of high-performance green homes. Green homes use less energy, water and natural resources, create less waste, and are more durable and comfortable for occupants.

Energy Inspectors™ is a LEED for Homes Providers

LEED homes are rated by LEED for Homes Providers – local organizations selected by USGBC based on demonstrated experience and expertise in supporting builders in the construction of high-performance, sustainable homes in their market. A LEED for Homes Provider has three primary roles:

  1. BulletMarketing LEED to builders; 

  2. BulletProviding green home rating support services to builders; and

  3. BulletTraining, coordinating and overseeing LEED qualified inspectors and builder support staff.


Homebuilders interested in participating in the LEED for Homes program must contact a LEED for Homes Provider organization.

What is a HERS Rating?

What is LEED?


LEED is a national third-party certification system that recognizes leadership in green building. It is developed by a consensus process by volunteer members of the U.S. Green Building Council who contribute their expertise to its technical development. LEED was first introduced in March 2000 for new commercial construction, and has since grown to include specialized versions for homes, neighborhood development, commercial interiors, high-performance building operations and maintenance, and core and shell development. More than 3.2 billion square feet of real estate in the U.S. and in 60 countries are pursuing LEED certification.


LEED for Homes, which launched in February 2008, measures green homebuilding performance based on eight categories: site selection, water efficiency, materials & resources, energy & atmosphere, indoor environmental quality, location & linkages, awareness & education, and innovation. Within each of these areas, projects earn points toward certification. LEED has four levels of certification: Certified, Silver, Gold and Platinum, with Platinum representing the highest level of achievement.
